WINDOWS XP IS INSTALLED IN MY COMPUTER, I UPGRADED IT MY
SELF. I HAVE ANOTHER COMPUTER THAT I WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE
IT TO XP. CAN I USE THE SAME XP DISC THAT I USED FOR THE
FIRST COMPUTER TO UPGRADE MY SECOND COMPUTER?
 
You may install your copy of Windows XP in accordance with the End User
License Agreement that you must agree to to do the install. It clearly
states that you may install the product on one computer only.
If you have 2 machines and you wish to run Windows XP on both then you will
need to buy an additional license/copy of the product.

Don't think of the Windows opertaing system as something you just put in a
PC and use then put in any other (like a DVD movie of music CD).
Think of it more like a part of your PC (like your CPU or memory).
Yes you can take it out and put it in another PC but if you want 2 working
machines you buy 2 CPUs and 2 sets of memory.
And thus 2 copies of Windows XP.
(This is the same license as we have had for all versions of Windows since
Windows 3.1)
